Fan-tastic...

So the Geeky Spouse and I are trying our very first solo home improvement project.

Installing ceiling fans....

I have a twich under one eye and have been throwing our pathetic assortment of tools around the guest room (our test hole if you will). I've sent him to his mothers house for a crescent wrench, because trying to attach bolts with channel locks from a garage sale doesnt work (they no longer lock!). Not to mention that screwdrivers in this house are at a premium, we probably have a dozen of each, but can we find them??? Noooo because they fall into the screwdriver/lost sock black hole. I need to put tracking devices on them, just to save my sanity.

The wiring in this house is like something out of an electricians nightmare, and almost nothing in our lightbox is labeled properly. Turning off bedroom 2 also knocks out the hallway in the foyer of the house...turning off bedroom 3 takes out the master and upstairs bathrooms...

I need a hug...

I think electricians mislabel fuse boxes with the specific intention of confusing us so that we call in the "experts" who know what to do with all those colorful copper wires. ( Which is to touch them together in various combinations until they achieve the desired effect. )
